BandAssist

Effects & routing

Rack and patch bay on your screen.

Effects, sends, inserts and the console’s entire routing – laid out like a studio: as a 19" rack with modules and as a patch bay with cables.

Effects

All effects in the rack.

The eight effect slots of the X32/M32 sit as modules in a rack. A display picks the effect, with all its parameters below – changes go to the console instantly and can be reset.

  • Reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, EQs, dynamics, amp simulation, pitch – every algorithm the console has
  • Knobs with units, switches, graphic EQs as a row of 31 faders, dual effects as blocks A and B
  • Effect source and return level with mute right on the module
  • Patch bay with sends, FX inputs and insert points: drag cables from jack to jack

Routing

Re-patch without the cable mess.

BandAssist shows where each channel gets its signal and where the outputs go as a patch bay: sources on the left, destinations on the right, cables in between. Nothing gets re-patched until you turn on “Edit”.

  • Inputs, channels, outputs, card & AES50 and inserts in their own tabs
  • Channels and outputs as a patch bay – drag cables, re-patch, drag into empty space to disconnect
  • Tap point of every output, explained in plain words
  • Quick actions: “Recording via USB” and “Virtual soundcheck” with the recording from your computer
